From hippie to yuppie in 20 fast years

I hope you don't choke on your crocodile tears

Why do you say that you love me

When you don't love me

‍

You poison the oceans, you butcher the trees

You burn out the ozone while polluting the breeze

On a planet drawn and quartered by political sleaze

We are dying from the deadliest viral disease

Why do you say that you love me

When you don't love me

‍

Busy flexing the muscle of that selfish old guard

You are raping and trashing our collective back yard

Don't tell me you love me when you don't love me.

‍

Your suburbs are boring, home to the corporate blind

The crime rate is soaring, drives me out of my mind

Basic respect is something I'll never find

In a world where the almighty buck is enshrined

Why do you say that you love me

When you don't love me

‍

You say you were focused on social reform

But it’s each for himself on the street in the storm

Don't tell me you love me

When you don't love me

‍

Hypocrisy shines in your selfish glazed eyes

Does hypocrisy line all the eyes -- of the wise

Is your selfish heart bleeding behind that disguise                                                                 

Is your selfish heart breeding a child that defies

Why do you say that you love me

When you don't love me

So much for flowers and music and Cid

I know you had fun but look what you did

Don't tell me you love me

When you don't love me

‍

You say please forgive me for my blind disregard

I know that I have to but I'll tell you it's hard

Justified by the muscle of that selfish old guard

You are raping and trashing our collective back yard

‍

And you lie when you say that you love me

You lie lie lie

You lie when you say that you love me

If you don't love me

‍

Should I inherit your attitudes habits and fears

Will the next generation tolerate the insult of deaf ears

Why do you say that you love me

Why Why Why

Why do you say that you love me

When you don't love me
